Dating back to circa 1911, this handsome Edwardian brick home offers a lovely blend of period charm and practical updates. Positioned on a west backing 50' x 142' lot, complemented by a newer double car garage - something of a rarity in this coveted pocket - and a welcoming, full-width front porch and back porch, perfect for relaxing and greeting passerby's. Inside, you'll find hallmarks of its era: notably high ceilings, nicely proportioned principal rooms and original millwork that lends a warmth throughout. Offering four well-sized bedrooms, alongside a finished attic complete with its own bathroom and loads of finished storage space. Key updates include most windows replaced in 2009, furnace/air conditioning and tankless hot water 2014. Central vac and a contemporary metal roof 1998 backed by a 50-year warranty, offering both peace of mind and a pleasing architectural contrast. With over 2,500 sq ft above grade, this property represents an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Old Oakville. Tucked along the south end of Douglas Ave, the setting offers mature trees and a quiet street yet is only a short stroll from the lake, downtown and nearby schools. While well maintained, the home presents an exciting canvas for those with vision, a chance to renovate and elevate a genuine heritage property. For buyers drawn to character and location, this is a rare offering, not least given the inclusion of a double garage. An enticing opportunity for a new family ready to make it their own!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 25+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $756/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Oakville's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Oakville are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Oakville. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Oakville Premium
Oakville commands premium prices for good reasons: top-rated schools, waterfront access, charming downtown, and affluent community. Homes here hold value exceptionally well during market corrections. The trade-off is higher property taxes and home prices. If schools and lifestyle are priorities, Oakville delivers.
